| Clarity |
Reception clarity is very
clear. |
| Features |
Call feature is a longer phone
ring type sound and is sufficiently loud. |
| Ergonomics
Ease of use, and general feel |
Left side transmission button
has a solid press feel with clear tactile feedback as to when the button
is pressed. Buttons are also rubber and are organized as expected. |
| Quality Impressions |
Radio case is of a transparent
color (purple, blue) and has the appearance that it would easily crack
if dropped, however when dropped twice (accidentally), it did not crack,
and all features were still available. |
| Volume |
Radio has small
volume range. It consists of loud to almost deafening. If
you need a radio in a loud environment, this is it. If loud radios
bother you, better pass on this one. |
| Overall
Impressions |
While this radio
has a basic set of features, and sounds quite clear when in range,
it gets lower marks for it's limited range, and inability to lower
volume to a reasonable level. |
